2010 Holiday Gift Guide: NEW Computer Engineer Barbie {Giveaway}

Leave a Comment
All kidding aside, my daughter sits, watches, and learns everything I do online,through writing, and wants to do it too. It warms my heart to know she's learning to love what I do, but what excites me is the fact that Mattel, our favorite toy brand, is embracing a variety of careers for their long-standing, ever popular Barbie Dolls in their I Can Be... line. This year, her career path has gone a little "Geeky" and I love it! Computer Engineer Barbie has hit stores shelves for Christmas time, completely laid out with her very own laptop and cellphone. Have you read my Facebook profile in which I state... Everyone Loves a Geeky Girl? Barbie proves this true.
About Computer Engineer Barbie:
Barbie® I Can Be...™ dolls and accessories empower girls to play out different roles and "try on" fabulous careers, including computer engineer, the first Barbie® profession chosen by popular vote! Always a reflection of the times, this digital diva engineers the perfect geek-chic look, with hot pink accessories and sleek gadgets to match. The inspiring set also comes with a special code that unlocks career-themed content online, for even more digital play (how fitting)!
Momma Findings:
My husband and I were talking about the subject of reaching our dreams (even in our 30's) and I mention to him, "I want my children to know that no dream is unreachable. I don't want them to settle for a so-so job because of the small town we live in. I want them to be confident in themselves and keep dreaming and keep reaching over and over again."
I know.
It sounds cheesy.
But I said that.
I believe that.
I have dreams of doing so much in the next few years and, it's just now right before my 30th birthday, that I'm realizing Hey. I can reach these dreams.
That being said, I love that Mattel is using their most iconic influential figure, Barbie, to show girls they can be whatever they set their hearts to be. Toys like this gives them the confidence, us Parents, work so hard to build up as they mature into womanhood.
I guess you can say this post, this "review", is about, more than the Barbie, but the fact that Brands and Parents can work together to, not only, give children an open door to dream, but have fun all at the same time. I want my children to dream about their future, but I don't want to rush their childhood. Barbie does a great job at helping imaginations grow in a friendly environment.
Same proves true with Computer Engineer Barbie. She's smart. She's tech savvy and stylish all at the same time. If there wasn't a label on the box, I'd almost peg her as one of those cool bloggers everyone keeps talking about.
Hey. I just call 'em as I see 'em. How fun would it be is there was a Blogger Barbie?!
Final Findings:
As I look at Computer Engineer Barbie and all her 125+ Careers it makes ME, a 29-yr-old woman, want to dream more, reach more, live more. Imagine all the possibilities for young girls!
Buy It:
You can purchase Computer Engineer Barbie at retailers nationwide or online at the Mattel Shop or Amazon.com for the suggested retail price of $12.99.
Win It!
One lucky Momma Findings reader will win a Computer Engineer Barbie of their own!
